Washington — With a total value of
$122724 1 2000 the nation's principal
farm crops this year were worth more
based on prices paid to farmers De-
cember 1 than In any year in the his-
tory of American agriculture Ixecem-
ber crop estimates of the department
o agriculture showed that this year's
total exceeds that of the former rec-
ord year 1917 by 1614380000 There
also was a marked Increase In acre-
age the 355895722 total exceeding
that of last year by 10700000 acres
These crop figures were looked upon
with satisfaction by officials as show-
ing that the nation will be In even
better position to fulfill its pledge of
200000o0 tons of foodstuffs to Europe
next year than had been expected
Most of the crops are larger than
the five-year average and some of
them established records particularly
spring wheat barley rye and tobacco
Corn however fell below the five-year
average Estimates placed the crop
at 166384000 bushels less than fore-
cast In November with a total of
2582814000 bushels That is almost
half a billion bushels less than last
year's record crop
Wheat Crap Larger
The wheat crop la larger than the
five-year average and almost 300000-
000 bushels larger than last year's
crop but It is more than the record
crop of 1915
Almost all of the crops were worth
more this year than in any previous

Washington— Extension of the per-
iod of government control of railroads
for live years until January 1 1924
waa recommended to congress by Di-
rector General McAdoo Advantages
of this Mr McAdoo said are that It
would take the railroad question out
of politics for the present give time
for carrying out an extensive program
of improvements and provide oppor-
tunity for a fair test of unified con-
trol to indicate the permanent solu-
tion of the railroad problem
The letter was addressed to Senator
Smith of South Carolina and Repre-
sentative Sims chairman respectively
of the senate and house Interstate
commerce committees Mr McAdoo
explained that to continue government
operation for twenty-one months after
formal declaration of peace under
present conditions would mean dis-
ruption of morale among employes and
officers and could not enable the gov-
ernment to go ahead with Improve-
ments and purchase of equipment
Another alternative the prompt return
of the railroads to private control
without legislation to permit elimina
tion of the wasteful competition would
be ''hurtful alike to the public Inter-
est and to tbe railroads themselves"
he said and the difficulty of obtaining
immediate legislation providing a per
rnanent solution is apparent

Washington — Neither the end of

the general board of tbe navy In re-

second to none in the world Rear
Admiral Charles J Badger chairman
of the ezecutlve committee of the
board told tbe house naval affairs
committee that the navy should be
equal to that ef any other nation by
1925 and urged that sufficient appro-
priations to make this possible be
made by congress
'The general board believes that
under the present world conditions
and the conditions likely to obtain in
the future" Admiral Badger said "tbe
United States navy should steadily
continue to increase Ultimately it
should be equal to the most powerful
maintained by any other nation of the
world Year by year development
should be made aa consistent with the
facilities of the country but the limit
above defined should be attained not
later than 1925

Building Should Continue
Completion of tbe three-year build-
Yng program authorized in 1916 and
which was halted to build anti-submarine
craft waa recommended by
Admiral Badger Work baa not yet I Not Frederick I

It is understood that in bis final
message to tbe coming legislature In
January Governor Williams will !
otnmend action looking toward final
settlement in court of a number of
disputed c'sjlms against the state
which have appeared In almost every
legislature since statehood The gov-
ernor will suggest It la understood
that tbe attorney general be em-
power to take whatever Action Is
greed upon In the name of the state
the proceedings to be Instituted In the
supreme court Some of the claims
re eight and nine years ol
type be declared would have been
fatal to the United States if it had
been fighting the war alone
Admiral Badger said that before the
armistice was signed tho greater part
of her navy the general board bad
recommended a six-year building pro-
gram to include twelve dreadnaugh'a
and sixteen battle cruisers but added
that immediate necessities would be
met by tbe three-year building pro-
gram recommended by tbe secretary
of the navy This program will add
Blxteen battle cruisers to the six al-
ready authorized he said and at the
same rate of authorization would
make a total of nineteen by 1925
Great Britain now baa thirteen of
these vessels built or building he said
and It is estimated she will have
nineteen by 1925
Vessels Are Powerful
Admiral Badger aald that type for
type American battleships compare
favorably in power with those of any
other nation pointing out that the
alz battleships soon to be laid down
are designed for a displacement of
43000 tons of twenty-three knots
speed a main battery of twelve six-
teen Inch guna and are heavily armor-
ed They will be the most powerful
yessels In the world he said
Admiral Badger stated that pro-
vis Iona for 108 destroyers is made In
the 1920 three-year program There
are now 342 either built or being
built he said and In 1925 there will
therefore be a total of 450 compared
with England's 516 at present
Big Submarine Program
The submarine program calls for
21 fleet submarines 146 “S" type 24
antl-aubmsrinea and 42 mine layers”
